[Android Central Question]

The current status of my phone: screen is black, and device is unresponsive to all buttons. The only sign of life is the pulsing blue notification light in the top left. I've tried everything I can think of, and the Internet has given me no answers so far.

The ONLY thing I can think of that could've caused this is - I was using my phone as normal this morning, when I got a little bit of dirt in the headphone jack. I tapped it out and plugged my earbuds in, feeling a small crunch when it got in deep, so I figured there must've been a little dirt left inside, but no big deal right? Music played, phone worked as usual, I put it away in my pocket. Took it back out a while later and the blue light was on, but the screen was not coming on. Every 20ish seconds a white line flashed, going down the whole far right side of the screen.

It's been a few hours now with no difference except I haven't seen the white line flash in a while. please help!
